 I have heard from  one person so far.

 Paul Lamar -----------------------------------------------------

 Runs fine on Windows 10 (I7 laptop). Plays with no sound on Ios
 (Iphone 5s). Not all video files are created equal. What was it
 filmed with?

 Alan Mullen Colorado
 --------------------------------------------------

 No problem here. They play just fine.

 Jack Hilditch ------------------------------------

 No problem here with Win 7.

 Gary Knutson

Me too.  Mac air

 Terry Wilson

 ------------------------------------------------------------- Me too
 what Terry? Does it run or not run?
 ------------------------------------------------------------

 Paul, When I tried to run it from the link it didn't work. When I
 downloaded it and ran it it worked.

 Bill Jepson

 I can't get it to work on any of my android stuff, just audio

 I think what started all this was software patents on codecs in the
 US. I know near nothing about it. Some countries did not recognize
 them and programs like VLC came from Europe as well as Linux that
 would play anything.

 My Linux has no problem showing anything.

 It appears there is video chaos in the cell phone and tablet biz.

 If anybody has a cell phone or tablet that runs them with out
 problems send me name of the app.

 FYI,

 On my notebook running Redhat, using VLC or the default video player,
 Totem I have no problems. On my phone running Android, using VLC it
 plays fine but the default video player doesn't play the video, sound
 only...

 Cheers,

 Every, body take a short movie on your cell phone or tablet and send
 it to me telling me the brand of phone or tab and the rough year you
 bought it.

 Paul, Here is a video I took December during the 25hr enduro at
 Thunderhill Ray Hellstrom

 Thanks Ray.

 Here is a short clip of Ray's vid. It is remarkable compressed.

 Can every body see this. It is called a MOV(mp4) format.

 Any rotaries run in this race Ray? How did they do?

 Paul Lamar

Paul,
Yes, but sadly, only one, an RX8. The rotaries have dwindled down quit a bit since when I started with NASA back in 1995.
Here is the media guide and entry list https://nasa25hour.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Thunderhill-Media-Guide-2016.pdf

Do you have a set of race car rules Ray?

I would be interested in seeing  them.

Did everybody get Ray's video?

If it worked let know. If it did not work also let me know.
Please include the type of cell phone tablet or computer you are using.
It is a different format and if it works I will start using it.
Here it is again.
